WHAT AN INCREDIBLE DAY OUT AT WYCOMBE FOR THE STANLEY FAITHFUL AND FOR OUR TEAM!

The pressure was certainly on Accrington Stanley......... playing AWAY at Wycombe Wanderers, a team with an excellent defensive record and with Oxford United and Bristol Rovers both breathing down our necks and just waiting for us to slip up!

The response from here UP NORTH was just FANtastic......

Coley and Jimmy; Set the team up for this match perfectly both physically and mentally.........
The PLAYERS; Once again responded with TOTAL COMMITMENT and TEAMWORK......
And the STANLEY SUPPORTERS; Certainly played their part! Turning out in great numbers........A MAGNIFICENT...... 584 FANS...... I believe is the official figure for the visiting supporters.....Yes 584 supporters showing the same level of energy and commitment as the players.
All returning home later totally shattered; Management, players and supporters having given everything on a memorable day for our club!

All of these factors combined to produce a highly successful outcome in gaining THREE MORE POINTS on our journey towards PROMOTION.

Such well organised stuff from Ash and his helpers in getting the coach seat allocation done very efficiently at The Crown and around the ground.
A great trip down the motorways with superb singing at the Motorway Services........
BRILLIANT singing and drinking before the match on the Wanderers concourse enabled by sensible stewarding by the Wycombe security staff........
From the moment we all moved onto the Away End, the Stanley Ultras (and more) sang and sang and sang our hearts out never ceasing form the first whistle to the final whistle.......
And then singing on and on until the players came out to unite with us in song and celebration.........it was FANtastic stuff indeed.

The actual match was less significant than the result as far as I was concerned. The play was somewhat spoiled by another inconsistent referee and a Wycombe side who were quite 'robust' in trying to deal with the threats of Billy, Pierro, Josh, Brad and Tariq. We had a couple of good penalty shouts turned down and their debutant keeper made some good saves, and we didn't really get any proper 'breaks' until we scored. After that we could easily have scored again and 2 - 0 would have been a fairer reflection of how the match had played out.

To their credit Wycombe had a lot of possession for 25 minutes or so after half time and the relief was palpable when we scored...Actually NO that doesn't do it justice........WE ALL WENT SIMPLY BARMY....hugging anybody within reach.......Grown men shedding tears of joy and relief........
and then the jangling nerves watching the clock countdown to 90 minutes and then.......OMG......ANOTHER FIVE minutes extra to endure!!!!!

What a relief at the final whistle.
1 - 0 to us........ VICTORY..... and THREE MORE POINTS!!!

The Stanley Faithful sang on and on until Coley brought the team out.......What an atmosphere and heartfelt gratitude there was between players, staff and supporters........"ONE ACCRINGTON STANLEY"......(some words from one of our long time chants)........but certainly true of ACRRINGTON STANLEY THE CLUB ON THIS PARTICULAR DAY!

AWESOME....AWESOME....AWESOME....AWESOME....SIMPLY AWESOME....

Now......we move on to THE FINAL SHOWDOWN against an 'Old Enemy' next week.......
So...SAME AGAIN EVERYBODY next Saturday and we will complete another amazing chapter in the history of our FAMOUS 'LITTLE' BIG CLUB.........
ACCRINGTON STANLEY.........
THE CLUB THAT WOULDN'T DIE!

ON STANLEYON......
KEEP THE FAITH......
"BELIEVE"
